The community meetings are open to everyone. We will
present the same information in each of the meetings, so you can attend the one
that is most convenient for you. We will describe the process to
date, present the draft proposals, and solicit and listen to community
feedback. We remain open to making additional changes to the draft
proposals, based on your comments, before they are taken to the Zoning
Commission for consideration at public hearings. For most of
us, zoning is not a normal topic of discussion, but it is an
important one, so please plan to attend.
Copies of the draft proposed text are available on our
website- www.DCZoningUpdate.org,
with links from our blogsite - www.ZoningDC.org, and a paper copy is also
available for viewing at the Office of Planning (address below) and at the
